AQUATICS Swim Lessons Imagine watching your child swim for the first time all by themselves. The joy of seeing that accomplishment and confidence is unmatched. In our swim lessons, we’re not just teaching life-saving skills- we’re building confidence.

Y lessons are unique due to their focus on preparing the swimmer for all aspects of the water experience and life by teaching skills in these five focus areas:

Personal Safety- Activities that help increase awareness of personal safety issues for both child and parent.

Personal Growth- Activities that help child and parent grow in spirit, mind, and body, including character development.

Stroke Development- Activities that improve swimming abilities so children can move in the water safely.

Water Sports and Games- Activities to develop an appreciation of aquatic activities for a lifetime of fun in the water, including age-appropriate games and songs.

Rescue- Activities that build awareness of how to help others in aquatic emergencies.

Our Approach We use a student centered learning style to keep children actively involved in their progression. When students are allowed to figure out what to do on their own, they are actively and creatively participating in their learning. As a result they tend to remember what they learn better and longer. Participants are placed in a level based on age and ability to help meet the developmental needs of each swimmer. Beginner swimmers will wear an IFD (instructional flotation device) to help them swim in the correct body position and improve their arm and leg motions while being able to remain afloat.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CHILD’S SWIM LESSONS

PARENT TIPS: Register for the correct level! Use the program descriptions in

this guide, or give us a call. We can talk about your child’s readiness for a particular level OR schedule a free assessment.

Get ready! Children with shoulder length hair or longer must tie it back. Swim caps and goggles are strongly encouraged for Ray or Guppy levels and higher.

Don’t forget to bring your towel to the pool deck!

Meet your instructor on the pool deck in the designated drop off zone. Note: your instructor may be in the pool finishing a class.

If you choose to leave the pool deck during lessons, please return 5 minutes prior to the end of class for pick up. Please note: you must remain in the building for the duration of class!

Research shows that participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of

drowning by 88 percent among children aged one to four years. (Source: Pediatrics &

Adolescent Medicine 2009)

Help us keep our pools clean!

Please remove your street shoes: they carry dirt,

salt and other germs onto the pool deck.

Take a shower: this helps keep our water fresh and

balanced!

Stay home: if your child has not been feeling well in

the last 24 hours, please stay home! Aquatics staff

may ask your child to leave if they are visibly ill. A

system credit may be issued for absence for medical

reasons, just provide a doctor’s note.

Swim diapers: are required for children not fully

potty trained.

REACH & RISE® MENTORING PROGRAM

The program is designed for youth ages 6 to 17 who lack role models and are in communities challenged by poverty, crime, truancy, among other social issues. Research shows that youth facing such challenges

are more likely to succeed with the support of a caring adult. The Reach & Rise® Mentoring Program connects these children with adult mentors for 12-18 months. The Y recruits and trains adult volunteer mentors to provide direct one-to-one mentoring services and create safe, healthy and meaningful relationships with youth. Mentors and mentees participate in service projects, field trips and other engaging activities. WHO ARE REACH & RISE® PROGRAM MENTORS? Mentors are volunteers ages 23+, with varied cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds, who wish to make a positive impact on the self-esteem of young people in Rhode Island and Southeastern Connecticut. Mentors commit to spending 1-3 hours per week with their mentee for one full year. The Y is committed to ensuring a safe and caring environment for its youth and will conduct face-to face screenings, thorough background checks, as well as provide 15+ hours of paraprofessional counseling training over 4-5 weeks before matching them with a mentor. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact Erin Pringer, Program Director. [email protected] 401-596-2894 ext 121
